The efficiencies of nuclear power plants are rather poor having the ratio %30 by using the conventional energy/exergy tools. According to that information, large amount of energy is wasted during condensation and thrown out to the environment. Thermoelectric generator (TEG) system has a potential to be used as a heat exchanging technology to produce power with a relatively low efficiency (about 5%) and it can transform the temperature difference into electricity and generate clean electrical energy. In the present study, we offer a novel system to recover the waste heat from a VVER-1000 nuclear power plant. The heat transfer of the TEG is analyzed numerically with respect to the various temperature ranges and constant mass flow rate of the exhaust steam entering the system. In the analyses, different hot temperature ranges (35ºC, 45ºC and 55ºC) and a constant cold temperature (i.e. 18ºC) are used for a HZ-20 thermoelectric module and it has been proven that the designed TEG can produce the maximum output power of 76,956 MW for a temperature difference ∆T=37 and the conversion efficiency of 3,854% sits. The TEG is designed for the condenser of a 1000 MW nuclear power plant. It's shown that about 2,0% increasing in the power plant efficiency is expected by using the selected thermoelectric generator in the condensation cycle.Article History: Received: July 15th 2017; Received:  October 17th 2017; Accepted: February 13rd 2018; Available onlineHow to Cite This Article: Terzi, R. and Kurt, E.

This article conducts optimization and sensitivity analysis for the cold-end system of a nuclear power plant (NPP) with a sea water circulating system, using the minimum annual cost method by dynamic economical analysis. The following factors are taken into account for the optimization: the design of a condenser (cooling area and the parameters of cooling tubes), the scale of the cooling tower, the flow rate of circulation water, and the diameter of circulating pipes. In conclusion, the optimum scheme of the cold-end system is obtained for the double-back pressure turbine project. The variation trend of the annual cost with changing circulating water amount is also concluded. Finally, this article provides the sensitivity analysis of the feed-in tariff.

The production of clean water in the US as well as other countries is a critical need along with non-greenhouse gas electrical power generation. Low-temperature waste heat from nuclear power plants can be used to produce the large quantities of clean water for reactor cooling (∼25,000 acre-ft/yr), potable water for culinary and agricultural use and many other applications. Cogeneration of nuclear electrical power and clean water is reviewed and discussed in this paper. These cogeneration systems can utilize grey and/or brackish water that can markedly extend potential sites for future nuclear plants in areas where only poor water sources are available. A steam adsorption system for on-line production of clean water and refrigeration using nuclear power plant waste heat is also proposed and discussed. This improved design for more energy-efficient use of the steam adsorption cooling has the potential to substantially reduce the intense electrical power consumption for food processing and storage, ice- and snow-making and air-conditioning.

Response Measures

Compared with the land-based nuclear power plant, the operating conditions of offshore nuclear power plant (ONPP) are much more complicated. For example, the barge-mounted platform malfunction, which is as important as the natural events and human events, should be considered in the plant safety analysis,. As a result, a two dimension operating condition coupled with barge and reactor status should be considered in the development of relevant power plant operating procedures. On the other hand, the beyond design basis hazards induced by the combination of unique and unanticipated external events of ONPP may lead to a blind area to both traditional and two dimension procedures mentioned above. Due to the insufficiency of existing operating condition and relevant procedures to tackle with the above events mentioned, an expanded operation strategy, namely the beyond design basis hazards and the extended ultimate response measures, is developed, Injecting sea water into reactor pressure vessel directly after primary system depressurized and venting the containment when necessary, formed the basis of ultimate response measure, which was proposed by Taiwan Power Company after Fukushima Accident. Considering the offshore and barge-mounted features, the ultimate response measure can be extended to include sea water injection into steam generator indirectly through secondary side passive residual heat removal lines and reactor cabin flooding by sea water through Kingston valves, to rebuild a newly, hierarchical one. Finally, the extended ultimate response measures, provided mainly for the plant command staff and operators, are analyzed utilizing thermal-hydraulic integral computer code preliminarily, to prove the effectiveness of the system configuration and operating strategy. It is concluded that injecting sea water into steam generator can remove the decay heat effectively, and the sensitivity study shows that operator intervention is good enough in accident mitigation.
